Easy Oatmeal Apple Crisp

It’s peak apple season, making it the perfect time to bake healthy apple desserts. Here’s a delicious and easy apple crisp recipe made with the goodness of rolled oats, whole wheat flour, almonds and fresh apples. The apples can be cubed or sliced, depending on your tastes. For more texture and nutrition, use cubed apples with the peel intact. (Choose a cooking apple with a thin skin.) For a more tender apple crisp, peel and slice the apples.

For directions how to make vegan apple crisp see the tip at the bottom of the recipe.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes until apples are tender and topping is browned. Serve warm or cooled.

Makes 6 servings

Tip: To make vegan apple crisp, use 1/4 cup vegan vegetable oil spread in place of the butter. Another vegan option is to use 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil and 1 tablespoon soymilk in place of the butter.

Hi Shannon- I have only used rolled oats to make apple crisp. Steel cut oats will likely result in a tougher, chewier topping. If you make the recipe using steel cut oats, please let us know how it turns out.
Thanks,

I made this for Thanksgiving this past year as a healthy alternative to our traditional apple pie. It was a huge hit. My daughter just asked me to share the recipe as she is now going to make it for Christmas for her guests 😀 Thanks so much!

SO GOOD! i did the vegan version just because i felt like using my coconut oil for some healthy fat. i didn’t have any almonds so i threw in some crushed walnuts instead. i used 4 small red delicious apples. will be making this again! thank you!

Thanks for posting this fantabulous recipe!! I’ve made it once using pecans & coconut oil; am now making it again using almonds. This recipe gives me faith that clean eating can be satisfying to both body & mind!

Made this for Thanksgiving dessert and it came out great. My family loved it. My dad said it was sweet but felt like he was eating real food ( by just a sugary dessert!).
I used 5 Cortland apples and 1 green apple. I baked it at 375 for 35+ minutes. Added cranberries. The apples were soft but still had a good bite.
